1992 Romanee Conti

Initial signs of bricking. A remarkably complex nose that has now gone completely secondary with a gentle touch of sous bois and plenty of earth and spice nuances. The sweet, supple, forward and delicious flavors are now secondary as well, delivering good length plus classic style and grace. There is quite a bit of finishing structure yet oddly, the wine is not excessively firm and the nose is positively haunting in its complexity and sheer class. While this is drinking perfectly now, it will hold at this plateau for another 2 decades. In sum, while certainly not a great RC, it's certainly impressive for the vintage, particularly at this point is the vintage's evolution where most examples are tiring. Note: another bottle tasted several years was more vibrant if slightly less complex. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

A solid core of fruit and tannins in a medium-bodied wine. Plum, berry and mushroom aromas and flavors, with hints of violet, brown sugar and cinnamon. Enough tannins on the finish to cellar until 1997.Wine Spectator, May 15, 1995
